Participation 3.0 - Social media in local public life for inclusive engagement, transparency and problem-solving.

Participation 3.0 was E-Democracy.org's next generation local online civic engagement initiative in 2010-11.

It represents a new and third wave of activity since our founding in 1994. Today, we seek to connect local people everywhere with the best ideas and opportunities for inclusive local online civic engagement.

A model open and transparent "Participation 3.0" effort to liberate public meeting agendas from obscurity. This model will test and inform the open source-style specification process that will be fully deployed in the full multi-year effort.

The problem - most national "who represents me" look-ups stop at the state legislature and they only list directory information on how to engage in private communication with those officials versus opportunities for public engagement.
